How to: Be a Better Leader (11)

by Stefan Stern

The leadership industry is vast, and yet the gap between what we want from our leaders and what we get is often huge. We know that businesses and organisations expect people at all levels to show initiative and display leadership. Perhaps you are a boss, or an aspiring leader, and are looking for a little boost or a few useful ideas.This book is designed to help you truly understand what it means to be a leader, as well as what good and bad leadership look like. Stefan Stern investigates the different ways in which men and women lead - and, crucially, how we can get nearer to genuine equality at work. He also highlights the language of leaders, and gives examples from around the world of different prominent leaders from business and politics.

[Chayt Kasote · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's very difficult to rate this one for me because it seems like it does communicate very useful and effective things, but I didn't find it applied to me personally. And it feels unfair to rate something that's objectively perfectly fine and could be useful to some people over things that are just a personal mismatch.

It is a good overview of leadership by giving a perspective of predominantly modern, western, generally white leaders.

It could have done so much better had it delved in to the 4000+ year history of all the other civilisations beyond just the American.

Good book, but very disappointing in its one-sided-ness.
